Well, that could be a bummer if you like salt. It’s one of the three flavors that drives human motivation. Maybe you’ve heard of this little @NYT Best Seller by @michaelcmoss , “Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us”?
.
It’s not our fault that our brains are broken.
.
There’s entire industries fashioned off our intrinsic motivators, using our own emotional triggers and taste buds to keep us imprisoned in old ruts. A little of this, a little of that to keep us in a “bliss-state”.
.
Except it’s not really bliss, not a real happy place.

I’ve been developing a meditation challenge on radical self-love that includes this incredible new breathing technique to increase nitric oxide. So when this study came out that showed how too much salt decreases nitric oxide in the brain and increases this plaque build up of tau, I got really excited. .
Nitric oxide balances tau.
.
Yep, this crazy simple breathing technique that’s part of my 40-Day meditation challenge is going to create a buzz… And bring you back to your true happy place.
